Reportedly Murdered

by Geoffrey Walters, Geoffrey Smagacz

How does Gregory Thackery, a novice reporter working for a third-rate newsweekly, scoop the New York Press, the New York Daily Tribune, New York News Journal, and the vaunted New York Dispatch, America’s so-called “newspaper of historical memory”? Luck? Common sense? Hidden connections? Even the clueless Gregory doesn’t know for sure.

Gregory Thackery is a would-be reporter drowning in political intrigue, career stagnation, marital problems, and a deadbeat brother naked on his couch. Throw in one dead body and you have all the fixings for a fun ride through the ugly underbelly of small-time newspapers and back-stabbing community boards.
